Why is all this info in the buried in the FIRMWARE for the HomePod? I get that it's running a full version of iOS and I can see how it would make sense that iPhone 8/ATV/etc info wasn't scrubbed from iOS version. But that wasn't the case. It was found in the FIRMWARE which I'm guessing is very specific and much more lean than the operating system itself.
What's the difference between firmware and the iOS as it relates to the homepod?
